With the Democrat Party moving far left, why are half of voters still Democrats? That’s what we’ll examine here.

The Democrat Party’s history goes way back to Andrew Jackson. President Jackson was a populist and championed the working class, though he did force the Seminole Indians in Florida to move to Oklahoma, far from their Tribal lands, with many dying along the way, thus the name the “Trail of Tears.” When the Confederacy lost the Civil War, the Democrat Party supported the Klu Klux Klan and then the “Jim Crow” laws that kept African-Americans subjugated.

Aside from its checkered past, the Party successfully fought to have itself branded as being a champion for the poor, minorities, and the working class. If this were ever true in the past, it’s certainly no longer true today. Today’s Democrat Party is not your father’s Democrat Party. Therefore, I ask the question, “why do about half of Americans still vote Democrat?” Here’s why…

-President John F. Kennedy was the most prominent democrat in the past and many voters still think of the Democrat Party as being the Party of JFK (though it has moved far to the left from where JFK stood on issues).

-The mainstream media (New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC) are propagandists for the Democrat Party. Over 90% of their reporting on President Trump is negative and some is actually fabricated, reporting on the insignificant “palace intrigue” rather than on Trump’s substantive accomplishments with the economy, jobs, minority employment, etc. Stories that make liberals look bad are usually not reported.

-Most of Hollywood is a major propagandist for the Democrat Party, using its fame with the public to sway voters.

-Most Universities and colleges are propagandists for the Democrat Party. Professors deliberately misstate the Conservative side of issues and also attribute nefarious motives to Republicans and Conservatives.

-Silicon Valley uses its vast power to suppress conservative ideas on the Internet but air liberal ideas.

-Republican politicians, with the exception of President Trump, generally do not fight back against the constant onslaught of criticism and phony allegations from their Democrat oponents. Therefore, voters hear mostly just one side criticizing the other and never even hear both sides of issues.

-There is a significant amount of voter fraud, as documented by various credible sources such as the Pew Research Center. Almost all of the fraud is for Democrat candidates and explains why DNC policy is against any form of photo ID being required to vote, using the pretext that it’s voter suppression.

-Many voters do not follow closely national issues. They can repeat what they hear on the Left’s propaganda mainstream media (MSM) machine, but they don’t know both sides of the issues. Therefore, followers of MSM are usually Democrats, thus the war by the Left against Fox News, which is not part of the MSM. Even simply hearing the conservative or Republican side would change the minds of many voters so the DNC and Democrat politicians try to persuade their base not to watch Fox News, which they label “fake news.”

-Most Democrat issues are phony issues, created to persuade voters to vote Democrat. These include the non-existent “War on Women”, the Left’s attempt to take protective guns away from law-abiding citizens through its”War on Guns”, blaming climate change mostly on people rather than mostly on solar flares, calling everyone a racist who does not agree with their position on issues, the Left’s war on the police, the military, and ICE, etc., etc., etc.

CONCLUSION

I’ve been following politics since the 1960 TV debates between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Back then, both political parties were relatively honest in advocating their views. It’s much different today. Other than being against every policy that President Trump supports, what policies does the Democrat Party stand for? Other than being for abolishing ICE, not constructing a border wall, giving all illegal aliens amnesty, a weak military, free college and Medicare-for-all, and $15/hour minimum wage, I have no idea what it stands for. Do you?

The Clinton and the Trump campaigns are close to an end after being hard-fought. Currently, Clinton is doing better in the media-run polls than Trump, though Trump is doing better than Hillary in the most accurate-in-the-past poll (Rasmussen), and his rallies are getting larger than his usual large crowds. Note that one of the recent WikiLeaks “John Podesto” emails told the media how to rig polls to make it appear that Hillary was trouncing Donald (this was done to achieve a “bandwagon effect”).

Multi-billionaires, like Donald Trump, obviously don’t get to be wealthy by being stupid. However, Trump is prone to rhetorical excesses. He is the populist anti-establishment candidate, called by his son, Eric, a “blue-collar billionaire”.

Hillary Clinton has an interesting hand because she was President Obama’s Secretary of State, however she has developed into a good debater and speaker. As the WikiLeaks “Podesto” emails have exposed, as well as many more credible sources, Hillary Clinton will do almost anything, no matter how corrupt or illegal, to win the election and become President of the United States. Moreover, the FBI has re-opened the investigation of her having classified information on her private computer server.

On policy, Trump has the advantage because Obama’s policies have hurt medical care, foreign policy, the military, the economy, Israel, etc., and Hillary, as Obama’s Secretary of State, is closely allied with Obama’s policies. On the other hand, if you only watch NBC, ABC, or CBS, you have’nt heard about these negatives about Obama (so Obama’s shortcomings don’t really matter that much).

There are many reasons for electing “your” candidate, but here is the strongest reason for supporting either Clinton or Trump.

o for Clinton: if you like Obama’s presidency, you’ll like Hillary; however, you’ll have to overlook rampant corruption in a Clinton Administration (past performance is the best indicator of future behavior). Hillary Clinton should be better than Obama was as commander-and-chief of the military.

o for Trump: he would appoint at least 3 conservative Supreme Court justices, his economic plan would double the size of the economy (Gross Domestic Product or GDP) within 10 years after his policies are put into effect (which is what happened under President Reagan), he would fix illegal immigration, and he would repeal and replace Obamacare.

I’m a political junkie because much of my education and interests were about government and my jobs were with the Federal, a State and a city government, where elected political leaders were in charge. I know both sides of every issue and therefore know who is fabricating and twisting facts to support their policies. For the sake of everyone on the planet, I pray we make the right decision in selecting our next president.
